Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for detecting the optimum anode charge impedance of a tube transmitter in a high frequency transmission chain.
- a tube transmitter cannot be charged directly by a transmitting antenna whose impedance is much too low; in general, an adaptation cell is used between the anode and the antenna, using variable inductances and capacities which must be tuned according to the working frequency and the antenna impedance.
- This re-tuning can be controlled in many ways, all of which is to ensure that the load impedance of the tube is optimum, which corresponds to a maximum efficiency of the tube and a maximum of power radiated by the antenna. They are based on different principles that also lead to different technologies.
- a first method consists in measuring the HF current (I) and the HF voltage (V) at the outlet of the tube. The ratio of these two measurements gives the desired parameter Za directly, but as soon as the power becomes high it is difficult to take the current information by toric coupling.
- a second method consists in measuring the average current consumed and in making a comparison with the HF power emitted by the transmitter.
- the technology is simple but the accuracy is poor and the tuning algorithm is complex.
- a third method consists in substituting for the measurement of the ratio VI the measurements (easier to perform) of the HF voltages existing respectively on the input electrode of the tube (V E ) and on the output electrode (V s ).
- Za is the sought anode charge impedance
- S a constant characteristic of the tube called slope.
- the adaptation therefore consists in detecting, during the adjustment of the anode charge impedance, the precise moment when the phase of the ratio V s / V e becomes equal to 180 ° (cathode to ground) and where the module of this ratio, equal to the product of the slope of the tube by its load resistance, becomes equal to a previously defined value. It is not necessary to work directly on the ratio Vs / V E but it suffices in fact to compare in module and in phase the signals V s and V E.
- the present invention aims to avoid this drawback.
- the optimum anode charge impedance detection device makes it possible, compared to known devices, to increase the precision and to simplify the adjustment algorithm, by not looking for extremums ( variable according to the levels) but zeros, which makes it possible to obtain a great dynamic of adjustment according to the power involved, but above all to make the adjustments independent of this power, with immediate determination of the direction of variation of the adjustment elements.
- the device for detecting the optimum anode charge impedance of a tube transmitter in a high frequency transmission chain comprising, in addition to the tube transmitter, a transmitting antenna and an impedance matching cell, with variable elements, interposed between the tube transmitter and the transmitting antenna, and this detection consisting in identifying , during the variation of the impedance presented to the anode by the impedance matching cell, and from the input and output voltages of the tube, the passage of the anode charge impedance of the tube by a purely resistive value defined beforehand
- this device comprises means for phase shifting by k 2 " (with odd integer k, positive or negative) the phase difference existing between the input and output voltages of the tube, means for multiplying between them the two voltages thus treated, and means for calculating the average value of the product thus obtained, the cancellation of this average value corresponding to the passage of the anode charge impedance by a purely resistive value, this which makes the detect ion adaptation in phase independent of the module adaptation detection
- FIG. 1 there is shown very schematically a high frequency transmission chain comprising a transmitter tube 1 and a transmitter antenna 2.
- the transmitter tube 1 comprises a cathode 3, a control electrode 4 on which an input voltage is applied V E , and an output electrode 5 on which an output voltage V s is collected.
- an impedance matching device 6 intended to adapt the impedance of the antenna 2 to a correct value for the anode of the tube 1.
- the antenna 2 typically has a complex impedance of the order of 50 ohms, alos that the tube 1 needs an actual impedance, that is to say purely resistive, of the order of 2000 ohms.
- the adaptation device 6 includes an impedance adaptation cell 7 with variable elements, and an optimum anode charge impedance detection device 8, intended to detect, during the variation of the elements of the cell 7, the moment when the load impedance of the tube becomes purely resistive and equal to the desired value.
- the impedance matching cell 7 comprises several variable elements initially prepositioned as a function of the frequency, namely two variable capacitors 9 and 10 and an inductor 11 for example. Inductance 11 is kept constant throughout the adjustment.
- the tuning is carried out using variable capacitors.
- the variable capacitor 9 is assigned to obtaining a 180 ° phase shift between V s and V E while the variable capacitor 10 is assigned to obtaining a good amplitude ratio between V s and V E. This is symbolized in Figure 1 by means of two separate commands for these two components.
- the device 8 for detecting the optimum anode charge impedance in accordance with the invention makes it possible to make the measurements on the phase between V s and V E completely independent of the measurements on the module of the V s / V E ratio and vice versa. vice versa when the desired agreement is obtained.
- This device 8 is shown in FIG. 2. It comprises means 12 for detecting adaptation in module and means 13 for detecting adaptation in phase.
- the module adaptation detection means 12 are conventionally produced using two capacitive dividers 14 and 15, one of which receives the input voltage V E and the other the output voltage V s .
- the ratios of these two capacitive dividers are determined so that the output voltages V S1 and V ⁇ ⁇ of these two dividers are equal when the input voltages V s and V E of these two dividers are in a ratio equal to the product of the slope of the tube by its desired anode load resistance.
- the module adaptation detection means also comprise a circuit for detecting equality between the voltages V E1 and V S1 , produced for example as follows.
- the capacitive dividers 14 and 15 are followed respectively by filter rectifiers 16 and 17 which respectively give signals proportional to the peak value of the signals V S1 and V E1 , and opposite signs.
- Each of the rectifier-filters 16 and 17 is followed by an amplifier (18 and 19) and the outputs of these two amplifiers 18 and 19 are connected to the input of an analog adder 20 which provides detection information at its output. adaptation in module.
- the means 13 for phase adaptation detection comprise means 21 for phase shifting the phase difference existing between the voltages V S and V E.
- the means 21 comprise for example a first and a second 90 ° phase shifter, 22 and 23, identical, each provided with an input connected to the output of one of the capacitive dividers 14 and 15.
- Each phase shifter is provided with two outputs referenced A and B, one of which (A) provides the signal present at the input of the phase shifter, phase shifted by a phase shift ce ( ⁇ possibly being any) and the other (B) provides the signal collected on output A 90 ° out of phase.
- phase shifters are well known in the art and will not be described in more detail. These are, for example, 90 ° phase shifters of the all-purpose quadrupole type with R-C networks.
- the phase adaptation detection device also includes an analog multiplier 24 provided with two inputs connected respectively to the output A of the phase shifter 22 and to the output B of the phase shifter 23, or to the output B of the phase shifter 22 and to the output A of the phase shifter 23.
- the means 13 for phase adaptation detection also comprise a circuit 25 for calculating an average value (in particular by HF filtering), provided with an input connected to the output of the multiplier 24 and with an output which provides the information of phase matching detection through an amplifier 26.
- a circuit 25 for calculating an average value in particular by HF filtering
- the device 13 for phase adaptation detection shown in FIG. 2 operates in the manner next.
- ⁇ E and ⁇ S be the respective phases of the input voltages V E and output V S.
- phase shifter 22 and 23 between the signals collected on their outputs A and the signals present on their inputs.
